hope for all of the world. i think that is what s really fascinating that all of a sudden omarosa is super demonized. i never liked her, but nevertheless, she s not acting any differently than the rest of the people who have either been summarily dismissed or some of the folks who still sit in the white house. she is a window, though, into an absence, which is that there s just not diversity in this white house even by absolutely. by american political standards. let s put up some numbers for the audience just to give context for this. we have graphics of how many cabinet members that you see. you know, donald trump. number of white men in the first cabinet of each president. 18 for him. barack obama, eight. that gives you the full range. that s from the new york times. then the number of women and minorities in the first cabinet of each president. barack obama, this time it flips. he had the most. trump at six. you know, what does that tell you, scott, about what the prior
what s called last chance agreement on july 26th. it said he ll take this punishment and, you know, he gets to stay an agent. and then we got on friday a 25-page letter that you re referring to from opr, which had all the different considerations, all the way that they thought pete screwed up and all the mitigating factors that they considered and concluded not recommended, but concluded that the right punishment here for pete would be the suspension and demotion. then we got about a page and a half letter from the deputy director saying, i ve reversed this decision. pete s fired. deputy director of the fbi, not rosenstein? right. right. deputy director of the fbi. all right. so he s done. he s got to figure out what he does about it now. so let s leave it here for now, counselor, until we have new facts on the situation. counselor, appreciate the opportunity. be well. bye. you too. another big story, omarosa s taping and her firing and what she means about the diversity
bottom line is great. so speaking of making america great again, somehow it became synonymous with making america white again, starting in the cabinet. certainly on the numbers, that s a tough fact for the president to deal with. we re going to leave the debate there. i appreciate the arguments on both sides. scott jennings, angela rye, thank you. thanks, chris. leon panetta. that s a big name from politics. white house chief of staff. could he imagine an omarosa deal on his watch? two more big questions for him. does he think trump s attorney is changing his story about what the president told jim comey with regards to general flynn? and is a perjury trap a real risk to trump? former defense secretary, former director of the cia leon panetta, next. now t-mobile has unlimited for the rest of us. unlimited for you. for them. for all. get unlimited for as low at 30 bucks per line for four lines at t-mobile.
omarosa? no. obviously i don t agree with that either. i think what s interesting is, scott, you brought up a good point about diversity in the white house. we were just talking about the cabinet positions. chris, please tell me you have a graphic on the diversity in the white house if scott i ll give you 5 good dollars if you can name five black people in the white house. five. a dollar for each. you got five? i don t have a list of the white house staff in front of me. yeah, and even if you did, you would i think the point remains that you can have the best and the brightest and the best and the brightest be black. you can have the best and the brightest and have the best and the brighten be asian. so what s fascinating to me is that corporate america where donald trump is allegedly this big rich billionaire boss that s figured it out, he s cracked the code, he still hasn t figured out that they ve all said that diversity and inclusion is the path forward to ensuring your
to be able to complete this investigation, and that means not rush him to judgment, but have him proceed based on his timetable and what he needs either to make a case or not make a case. my belief is bob mueller, if he doesn t have the evidence to be able to support those charges, he is not going to bring them. we haven t seen him bring one thus far, so we ll see how it goes the rest of the time. and i will call on you please, sir, mr. panetta, to come back and give us some pearls of wisdom as we learn more. well, i like to be part of the italian hour, so it s going to be with you, chris. it s always good to have you. you re one who s actually accomplished something. so the omarosa fiasco raises a white flag over the white house literally. it is a sign of just how white that white house is. some context and whether or not that matters, next. at crowne plaza, we know business travel isn t just business. there s this.
